I don't agree with it, it's a major (traumatic) surgery and unnecessary.
It is easy for me to say that the recipient sister should accept she was born without a womb and has lived her live without one all her life.
I think just because we can doesn't mean we should
I appreciate it's clearly a trauma for her not to have had a physical womb and not to have children, but I just don't agree with the transplant.
I feel the same - about this and surrogacy.
There is a line we have crossed and the only people who are going to benefit are those who can exploit it, financially or emotionally.
I have kids - I love them to bits, but if I hadn't been able to have them I would have accepted the fact. Adults do NOT "have a right to a child" - a child has a right to loving parents, and the child's rights are the only ones that matter in this dynamic.
Already surrogacy is being exploited and women and children are suffering, Yes, there are doubtless some successful surrogacies, but only for the commissioning parents - for the mothers and the children this is wrong in so many ways. I hope we are still many years away from regular womb transplants, and an eternity away from them for men - because:
a) It will become another form of exploitation for women - at present surrogates bodies are "rented" to provide babies for people who may or may not be sincere (there is evidence that paedophiles have exploited this). Women are already being "pimped" into surrogacy in many countries. Once womb transplants are viable, poor women will be pushed into selling their wombs - having major surgery in order to benefit some other, richer woman, or even worse, validate some man's perversion Remember the guy who wanted o have a womb transplant so that he could become pregnant and have an abortion?
b) Any man receiving a womb won't just need a lifetime of anti-rejection drugs and standard female hormones, but heaven only knows how many pregnancy ones. Any pregnancy (God forbid - and it would have to be implanted. I couldn't see ovaries being viable after such a transplant) ensuing within will be washed with a cocktail of drugs and heaven alone knows what effect they may have on a developing foetus.
We really are stepping into a Brave New World where "Mother" is the filthiest word imaginable, and the only thing that matters is the male ego.

Yup
Can’t be trusted
im not happy about this, I’m infuriated by the current government and the financial mismanagement and cronyism of the last 12 years, but I can’t vote for that.
From the article:
Annelise Dodds: Labour will fix this injustice by bringing in tougher, fairer hate crime laws so that every category of hate crime is treated as an aggravated offence
Every category of hate crime except misogyny, it seems.

But...but...but...once they take hormones they become aKTuAL women. Why is that transphobic doctor talking about differences? There are no differences! Bigot!

Comment is from here:
Just to clarify - I don't agree with any of this nonsense! TIM = Men.
The comments on Reddit are beyond stupid.
And as for the article quoted above - if there are studies that prove the way transwomen's " . . . brains respond to oestrogen show that they recognise it as the correct hormone"
rolleyes
, Rubbish! If such studies eisted, the TRAs would have them plastered all over the place.
